Summary:
Un faro abandonado, tres hombres desaparecidos y un misterio imposible. Cornualles, 1972. En la víspera de Año Nuevo, un barco con el relevo prometido a los fareros Arthur Black, Billy Walker y Vincent Bourne llega a la Roca de la Doncella, a kilómetros de la costa, pero nadie sale a recibir la embarcación. No hay rastro alguno de los hombres. La puerta de la torre está cerrada por dentro. Todos los relojes se han detenido a la misma hora. El registro del guarda principal describe una gran tormenta, a pesar de que esa semana el cielo ha estado despejado. ¿Qué les ha sucedido a los guardianes del faro? ¿Devolverá el mar sus secretos? Veinte años más tarde, sus esposas todavía luchan por seguir adelante. La misteriosa tragedia debería haber unido a Helen, Jenny y Michelle, pero, en su lugar, las ha distanciado todavía más. Y, de repente, un misterioso escritor aparece para investigar lo que ocurrió. Quiere darles la oportunidad de compartir su versión de la historia, pero solo si se enfrentan a sus mayores miedos saldrá la verdad a la luz.
An abandoned lighthouse, three missing men and an impossible mystery. Cornwall, 1972. On New Year's Eve, a boat carrying the promised relief to lighthouse keepers Arthur Black, Billy Walker and Vincent Bourne arrives at Maiden's Rock, miles from the coast, but no one comes out to meet the boat. There is no trace of the men. The tower door is locked from the inside. All clocks have stopped at the same time. The head warden's log describes a major storm, even though the sky has been clear that week. What happened to the lighthouse keepers? Will the sea return its secrets? Twenty years later, his wives are still struggling to move on. The mysterious tragedy should have brought Helen, Jenny and Michelle together, but instead has driven them further apart. And suddenly, a mysterious writer appears to investigate what happened. He wants to give them a chance to share their side of the story, but only if they face their greatest fears will the truth come out.
